If they are just retained from the most recent shed....the BEST thing to do is nothing. You run a high risk of permanent injury by trying to remove them yourself, when the actual eyecaps themselves are virtually no risk to the snake as they are. Just leave them alone and they will likely get rubbed off by the snake in time anyhow. Or come off with the next shed.Originally Posted by mrubeck
If you're talking about multiple retained eyecaps on a severely neglected snake...those should be attended to by a vet qualified and experienced treating snakes.
